    I need a wireless mouse that I will be using for gaming on laptop. I really like the design of the MX Revolution and the Razer Mamba. I have gotten used to the design on the G5 so the G7 is another possibility.... its just Ive seen bad reviews for the G7 on its battery life. Actually Ive seen bad reviews for all 3 concerning RF interference. So if it was up to you, what *wireless* mouse would you get and why? If RF interference wasn't a issue what would you get? Would you get a totally different mouse from my small selection? Would you ignore the fact im looking for a wireless mouse and suggest a wired one? :p Thank you for your time.

    I honestly dont think the g7 has battery life, I mean I'd change it every 3-4 weeks. I'd stick with a wired mouse I currently have the g9 and its amazing.

    I'm saving for a logitech vx revolution. Its ergonomics is perfect. it also has a storage compartment for the bluetooth dongle.

    I bought a vx nano to go with my laptop. Its been great... the reciever is so tiny I leave it in all the time! Great battery life... something like 160 days... and I haven't had any troubl with interferance.

    Its worth the 80 dollars!

    @splashpants: Do you think the vx nano is too small?
